The Tutoring Center - "Your Link to Graduation."

Our Tutoring Center significantly contributes to our
students' success. During the 2012-13 academic year, over 50% of
active participants made the Dean's list during the Fall and Spring
semesters, twenty-seven (27) students were inducted into the Golden
Key Honor Society, and forty-seven (47) participants graduated from
Hampton University in December 2012 and May 2013. Of that number,
three graduated Summa Cum Laude, nine graduated Magna Cum Laude, six
graduated Cum Laude, and fourteen graduated with honors. Our
students' success is a testament to the effectiveness of our Tutoring
Center and the dedicated work of our Tutor Coordinator.

Participants may receive tutoring in Accounting, Biology,
Business, Chemistry, Computer Science, Economics, English, History,
Math, Physics, Psychology, and Spanish Monday–Thursday from 8:00
a.m.–7:00 p.m. and Friday from 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. Students are
reminded that tutors cannot take the place of course instructors, but
will provide additional assistance outside the classroom to help them
become independent thinkers.

To receive tutorial services, students must agree to the
following conditions:

Report to all tutoring sessions on time.

Attend class regularly. Classroom instruction and lectures are the heart of every course and without this material you cannot expect to be successful.

Complete all assignments and draft specific questions to ask your tutor in preparation for each session.

Conduct all tutoring sessions in the Tutorial Center unless otherwise approved by the Tutor Coordinator.

Discuss misunderstood information with your instructor during class or during office hours.

Promptly respond to evaluation surveys and other mailings from the Tutor Coordinator.

Complete a tutee survey after each session to inform the Tutor Coordinator of any problems or concerns.

How to Sign up for Tutoring

Complete a Request for Tutorial Assistance Form, a Tutee
Availability Sheet, Sign a Tutee Responsibility Contract, and submit
each form to the Tutor Coordinator. All forms can be obtained from
the SSS website or from a staff member in the office. A prospective
tutor will then contact you to select a mutual day and time to meet
for tutoring within one week.

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

The purpose of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator&#174;
(MBTI&#174;) personality inventory is to help students make
use of Carl Jung's theory that seemingly random variation in
behavior is actually quite orderly and consistent, resulting from
differences in the ways individuals prefer to use their perception
and judgment. The instrument helps students identify their basic
preferences from each of the four dichotomies specified or implicit
in Jung's theory:

Information: Do you prefer to focus on the
basic information you take in or do you prefer to interpret and
add meaning? This is called Sensing
(S) or Intuition (N).

Decisions: When making decisions, do you
prefer to first look at logic and consistency or first look at
the people and special circumstances? This is called
Thinking
(T) or Feeling (F).

Structure: In dealing with the outside
world, do you prefer to get things decided or do you prefer to
stay open to new information and options? This is called
Judging (J) or Perceiving (P).

The questionnaire takes between 15-25 minutes to complete
and there are no right or wrong answers. After taking the MBTI,
students may review their results to evaluate if their personality
type (preference) correlates well to their chosen field of study
and/or career. Program participants may opt to take the Myers-Briggs
Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment in a group setting. Students
interested in the November 4, 2013 administration of the MBTI should
sign up with Mrs. Cansler in the office.
